 Summary:  Panic attacks are real and more common than you might think.  This is a discussion of the possible causes of panic attacks and when a panic attack becomes part of a panic disorder.  Psychotherapy and medications, both first-line treatments, are considered here.  The importance of compassion is essential:  be kind to yourself and others.
